Butternut Squash Alfredo
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan with tall sides on medium heat. Add the onion and cook until transparent and fragrant, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring.
- Add the soup and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Transfer the sauce to a tall bowl or a blender and (carefully, you don’t want to burn yourself), blend until smooth with the blender or an immersion blender. Stir in the nutritional yeast and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce back to the pan.
- Add the pasta to the boiling pot of water and cook, stirring to loosen the pasta, until the pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked, using tongs, transfer the pasta to the pan with the sauce and toss to combine with the sauce.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese and fresh sage leaves if desired.
